When I perform the search, I get results that I assume Dropbox's image classifier has unhelpfully recognized as related to my tag search, but I am not able to filter results that actually have that tag. I have cleared my cache, used…

iCloud blocking file in Dropbox
An app that I wrote for our club accesses an SQLite DB file in our Dropbox. Most members have no trouble. One member uses iCloud and gets "permission denied ' when he tries to access this DB. The DB file sometimes has a small cloud symbol next to it. Hovering on this pops up a "file not downloaded" message. Clicking on it…

Dropbox is no longer capable of downloading files automatically.
The update to V175.4.5569 has broken Dropbox for me (MaxOS Ventura). My workflow is to put dozens of GB of raw images onto dropbox, and then edit and organize them on one of two different computers. For years, this was a flawless system. But now, it is impossible to force Dropbox to actually download all of the images to…

It took 5 days to resync but I was grateful to have nothing lost. About once per month, my DB gets sick and cannot get out of bed. It…

What do you like about using Dropbox on Desktop?
I'm curious - what prompted you to download Dropbox on Desktop? What is the reason for working on desktop versus going to Dropbox on web? Do you use both? Also for those that use Web - for what reason do you not have Dropbox installed on your desktop? Would love to hear everyone's input on this!
